If Glen Youngkin brings Critical Race Theory into schools underthe guise of "Social Emotional Learning" there needs to be an immediate recall.

Get the petitions ready, get your teams in place to collect signatures, and get ready to recall him if this happens.
I have no patience for "sOcIaL eMoTiOnAl LeArNiNg IsN't CrItIcAl RaCe ThEoRy."

None.

Woke activists use SEL as the gateway for CRT and "Critical Pedagogy." So it's out. You'll have to use another way of teaching. This is non-negotiable.
No CRT in schools means absolutely no wokeness in schools.

None, nada, zero, zip, zilch.

When I said no wokeness that means none.

If @GlennYoungkin brings in SEL, which is another way activists bring wokeness into schools then virginians need to recall him
My sincere hope is the @GlennYoungkin is simply unaware of this (he is, after all, the governkr and has much to do) but he still needs tomake sure the issue he won on: getting wokeness out of education, is followed up on.

No triangulation can be allowed here wokeness must go...
But if he lets wokeness in under the banner of SEL, we need a change.

I pulled for him because I sincerely thought @GlennYoungkin was the guy with both the spine and administrative skill to get wokeness out of education.

If he doesn't do that we need to find someone who will.

A few brief notes about this:

1. "Dark-Skinned"

Maybe, but the Bible doesn't say what Jesus skin color was, although this is possible.

What we know for a fact is Jesus was a Jew and this guy left that out.

Never trust those who leave out Jesus Jewishness. It's a tell

"Spent his childhood as a political Refugee"

Jesus Family fled to Egypt to avoid Herod's order that baby boys be killed. Very likely they return to Nazareth (which is in Galilee, Herod was in Judea) after Herod's death in 4 AD. At this point Jesus would have been a 3-4 y/o...
3.
"Grows up breaking religious laws"

Going to need a source here bud. There is no passage that says Jesus grew up breaking religious laws.

When he is grow Jesus cites David eating concecrated bread as a precedent to say "the law was made for man not man for the law"

But...

For those of you keeping track of the rise in communism around the world...
Russia is currently wearing jerseys with the Russian acronym for "USSR" at the Channel One Cup in Moscow.
The USSR saw sports as a way of demonstrating the superiority of their communist system. It was never just a game for them. They always said that their communist system would produce superior results and sports was a way to prove that.

Hockey is also, for Russians a sort of...
Barometer for the health of the nation. Hockey is expensive (equipment and rinks are pricey) so succesful hockey teams are seen as proof of the health of the economic system, and the cultivation of talented youth is seen as a sign of the health of the people as a whole...

It really looks like Dr. Hotez is asking for a pretty serious crackdown on freedom of speech.

Hate speech laws, which Dr. Hotez explicity suggest be considered, are always abused and used to silence dissent.
Hotez says 3 groups are the source of aggression against scientists:

1)conservative journalists
2)conservative politicians
3)conservative intellectuals

Those are the groups he want to wield goverment power against... conservative Journalists, Politicians, Intellectuals...
( correction: I said hate *speech* laws when I should have said hate *crime* laws)

That said, Hotez advocating the use of hate crime laws against "aggression" when he doesn't define what counts as aggression is the very form of authoritarianism the he claims to be against.

Jesus specifically named the Pharisees in Matthew 23.

Also, I'm a Jew (an apostate, but still a Jew) and let me just say the whole liberal Christian "rehabilitation of the Pharisees" really misses the mark in terms of what Jesus is doing here and why. Image
Jesus is specifically going after Hypocrisy here, and he singles out the Pharisees by name.

The list of things Jesus calls out the Pharisees for is 7 (Mark Luke John) or 8 (Matthew), and as far as I can tell, they all relate to hypocrisy and valuing appearance over substance
Jesus also thought the Pharisees scholarly tradition created rules which Jesus saw putting additional and unnecessary burdens on people.

These additional rules are what Jesus is referring to when he talks about "patches" in this reference here: Image

The woke will say everyone else's ideas, thoughts, and beliefs are hopelessly entangled in cultural biases.

However, the woke think wokeness is *NOT* hoplessly entangled in any cultural biases.

They exempt themselves from the exact charge that they level at everyone else...

They will say claim that no one can have an objective viewpoint from which to make absolute statement, but they do not realize their own claims that they have no objectice viewpoint from which to claim that it is absolutely true that no one has an objective viewpoint...

They will say "your views are polluted with cultural assumptions which you have mistaken for truth"...and then get very upset if you ask them whether or not wokeness is polluted with cultural assumptions which they have mistaken for truth.

Pic 1: @dukekwondc says @RevKevDeYoung's theology is white supremacy culture dressed up as theology.

Pic 2: Duke Kwon is upset any one would dismiss HIS work as anything but moral and theological reflection.

Duke demands we take him at face value while he reads others cynically
Duke Kwon wants people to give him the benefit of the doubt and grant that he's engaged in careful self-aware theological reflection. But he wants to treat other people suspiciously and assert that they are caught in the grip of cultural assumptions that they aren't even aware of
What Duke Kwon is saying is "I'm more self aware than you. I have moral and intellectual high ground because I know how I can be influenced by culture, so I can avoid having my views warped by culture. But you're not aware like I am so you're blinded by your cultural assumptions"
